My practice is in painting and making and moves through drawing and experimenting with materials. The work is an engagement with nature and comes without any particular message. It is not pointing to something, or symbolic of something but has meaning contained within itself. The work exists as self-contained, individual moments of nature realized visually.

​

For nearly twenty years I have worked from a studio in County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland. My process begins by delving deeply into a subject, researching it and accumulating knowledge, and gaining a better understanding. This is an important starting point, allowing me to embrace the various subtleties before I begin to paint or make. What results are works rich in detail.
